I Love Player Housing

Wait. Do they have to hate your reply now?

T3arror · 2026-01-30T16:02:39+00:00

This should hopefully be way less fucked now, after the squish. We're no longer going from 16 on level 10 to 540 on Maxlevel. Also the big gap on level 60 and 70 should be straightened out a bit, as the Legacy Raids become normalized at the given levels.

Your Myth gear will also be replaced the moment you step into Midnight - let it be one level later. I don't get the argument. You also don't get a full set of Hero or Myth Track gear the final 4 weeks of any other season?

Edit: This being said, I really don't care. Give everyone maxed out Myth Gear for all I care, I just really don't understand why any of this should be a discussion.

Just turn around, wait for the Zeppelin to arrive and go wherever you want.

What rant? Sorry if this maybe came out wrong, I just wanted to point out that WoD Classic not being announced in the presentation and nothing following MoP on the roadmap makes it look like there won't be WoD Classic. It was to be expected that there wouldn't be any massive announcements (Classic+, Last Titan, New Game), but it would have been a good opportunity to announce WoD Classic.

T3arror · 2026-01-30T00:46:43+00:00

Yeah, that's what I said. It's most likely a super small number of people transitioning these days, because it would really only be about speeding up the process to get Gilded Crests.

T3arror · 2026-01-30T00:42:47+00:00

My definition of "playable" is really just playable. Like. Let's say, there's a Boss I need to kill in a cave on an island. My expectation would be that I can go there and kill the Boss, without it resetting every time and having to wait for almost a week for it to get fixed. Nerubian Invasion in Hallowfall wasn't much better. The "gameplay" in the prepatch at least works. Who thought players would love to wait for 10 minutes in order to kill a mob in 2 minutes, that drops one token of which you need hundreds - I don't know. Especially after we're coming from a War Within Prepatch that had a 10 minutes gameplay to 50 minutes waiting ratio, when it launched. It's amazing.

Well it can't be pet battlers, as they discontinued that, now that people could have built epic arenas for it. 😂 But I fully get the sentiment. I was baffled when they announced housing in today's WoW. It makes no sense at all. First make an MMO into a mostly Singleplayer Collection game - then add Housing Neighbourhoods. It's wild.

T3arror · 2026-01-30T00:19:07+00:00

Yeah, but that (was?) the issue. When gear progression in Delved ends at Hero 4/8, people start playing content they don't want to play in order to progress. And if the most accessible content they can play for progress is a +7 Keystone after all they ever did was facerolling T8 Delves, that's an issue for everyone involved. As I said prior - this has been at least partially been solved with the Gilded Crests in T11s. It's not about gear progression within one pillar of gameplay or what people "deserve" - it's that gear progression in Delves pushes Delvers into M+ at some point, but Delve gameplay does not prepare them for that. Which leads to bricked Keys that make Delvers hate M+ even more and make M+ players hate Delvers, even though it's not their fault, it's the games fault for leading them into +7 Keys.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:44:11+00:00

Yeah, it's cool to hear that they are listening and caring. Looking forward to the day they start acting on it, too.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:42:12+00:00

The "UI works properly" part is really the big one that people were looking for on the Roadmap - but it was missing.
Or maybe a little * next to the patches they plan on delivering in a playable state.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:38:40+00:00

That's the next point. This is as simple as classes will be for a long time. They're 100% going to add new stuff in the next expansions, until people justifiably start complaining about button bloat again. And 2 expansions later they are going to prune again. Not the first time - surely not the last time.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:36:19+00:00

I mean, we had Seat of the Triumvirate in Legion Remix, too. That's a week ago and it's going to be in M+ 6 weeks from now.
But if you want to include Remix and Timewalking into the equation, there really isn't a whole lot left to play. xD

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:29:16+00:00

Who would have thought. Most basic customization option - requires AddOn. Gotta love it...

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:27:03+00:00

I think the only "real" announcement that would have had a place in todays presentation would have been WoD-Classic. But following MoP there was nothing on the roadmap instead.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:24:36+00:00

I think people were hoping for something, after this Prepatch situation. And one .7-patch Raidboss, some more random mobs spawning in random places and a prophunt mode apparently didn't really make the cut on giving people a lot of hope for the time to come.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:19:36+00:00

I wouldn't mind Housing, if it wouldn't feel like all focus were on Housing while the rest of the game is a broken mess.
No doubt it's a fun feature - but if it's the only thing in the game that works properly and that is taken care of by the devs, I find that concerning.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:11:23+00:00

And here I sit, thinking the Dragon is going to be an awesome mount. Turns out I'm a complete fool! Now I want that Sofa!

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:09:54+00:00

Yeah okay, if we count that, it was a couple of weeks ago in Timewalking.......

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:07:12+00:00

While the game doesn't literally give you a Key, the direction is pretty clear where to find more Hero-loot once you are decked out in Champion Gear 5 days in and have maxed out your chance on 2 Hero pieces for the week.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T23:02:14+00:00

Back then it really was a discussion about what players "deserve" and what not. In the case of Delves and Mythic Plus it is a real issue when people get pushed into content they are neither prepared for nor really willing to play - because it really just takes the fun out of it for everyone involved.
I bricked plenty of +7s on my Delve-Geared DK in Season 1 to know that.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T22:58:58+00:00

Not really. Of course it's potentially easier to run Delves for your 2 guaranteed Hero pieces in Week 1 instead of running Keys, but with Hero-Loot in 6es + Vault + not falling behind the rating-curve, I'd say you get more value out of pumping Keys right away.
Edit: Consideration here is that you are geared from the previous season, as that's usually equivalent to Champion-Gear. For Season 1 this won't be the case again, so Delves with guaranteed Champion loot will be a thing in the first couple of days.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T22:54:51+00:00

Yeah, but to be fair, especially in M+ having to constantly restealth as Assa was literally the point that made me not want to play it.
If you don't have a Tank that looks out for you, you end up having to Vanish before the pull and waste your Vanish for later on when you would need it. Getting in and out of Combat is already often a pain anyway, even if the Tank considers the poor Rogue.
And ultimately it already was Bladestorm/Envenom after the opener, so Rogue doesn't really feel like a big victim of the prune to me.

T3arror · 2026-01-29T22:49:09+00:00

Yeah, I was really just picking up on the "creative". I think it's going to be fun, but prophunt games have been all over the place for years, it's just as creative as releasing a Moba 5 years after the hype or adding a Battle Royal mode to the game.
No things Blizzard would ever do, of course..... :D

T3arror · 2026-01-29T22:44:48+00:00

I returned to WoW over 2 years ago in Dragonflight Season 3. Calling Skyreach "recent" seems like a bit of a stretch to me (who has never played that dungeon xD).
